It's harder to keep the pounds lost
Scientists have discovered why it is often harder to keep weight off than to lose it in the first place.
A team at New York's Columbia University has shown the key is falling levels of the hormone leptin, which controls appetite.
They found that giving people who had recently lost weight injections of the hormone helped them to avoid putting the pounds straight back on.
